Jordan Henderson is rumoured to be a Sunderland transfer target. It makes perfect sense for everyone - so why doesn't it feel right?
Football is ultimately cyclic. It always kind of has been. At Sunderland, we have seen that for years.
It’s probably fair to say that had this story emerged 18 months or so ago, you wouldn’t have found a single Sunderland fan remotely opposed to it. Henderson has done a first-rate job at thrashing his reputation since then, though. After all, gone are the days when Sunderland look backwards. In fact, the club has become known for their dedication to the future. The most-used midfield three this season – a season that sees Sunderland currently top of the Championship – is 17-year-old Chris Rigg, 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham, and 22-year-old Dan Neil.
Then there is the sheer experience factor. Sunderland have done well to raise the average age of their squad since last season, but it remains the youngest in the Championship. The sheer knowhow of Henderson could be a frankly enormous positive influence, especially if a promotion bid is still on going into the second half of the season.
